    Default First Restore - Half way there

    I purchased a Bengall Wedge from Leighton.

    I wasn't in bad shape, but it did need refreshing.





    So here it is refreshed. I will be getting tiger maple scales because what's a Bengall Tiger w/o stripes, right?

    Once it is shoed, I may name it Hobbes. Now I have to find a Calvin.

    Edit: The major pit and crater removal was done with an 80 grit dremel flap wheel. It is a wedge so I had some material to work with. I may end up going back over it with 100 and up because there is still some residual striations that are not visible in the pics. I polished it with the white dremel compound and a terry wheel. Followed up with a vigorous rub with a paper towel, followed with Turtlewax premium on a felt wheel dremel. vigorous rub again viola.

    Very nice and smart buy. I love Bengalls (so does Jimbo)..They are classy razors that shave like a dream!
